Elastomers Solve the Corrosion Problem: CASE HISTORIES FROM AMERICA

Abstract

Introduction in 1932 of neoprene, the first commercial synthetic elastomer, made it possible to attack many corrosion problems which had plagued engineers for years. Today, neoprene, and its newer companion Hypalon, synthetic rubbers are being put to use in virtually every industry to help solve an array of these persistent and costly problems. Some of the practical ways in which these two elastomers are helping in U.S. shipping and industrial concerns are dealt with in this article.
